The Sums Needed for Their I'M

The Sums. Needed for Their I'M
provement This Year.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Maj. Charles
j. Allen, United States engineer, in his
annual report says, with regard to the
Falls of st. Anthony, Minn., that if the
government is to preserve them the
sum of s15O,0OO will be needed for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1889. The
total amount necessary to the compile
ton of the present project is $4,000.
Congress has thus far appropriated
$685. for the preservation of the falls.
He thinks S150,000 can be profitably ex-
pended on the river between Aitkln
and Grand Rapids. An appropriation
of 81, 200 is asked for the Red River OF
the North to be expended in removing
distractions generally between Breck-
enridge, MIMI. and the northern boun-
Diary line, and in the care and mainten-
ance of the fleet Of dredgeS. He asks
st. Croix river below Taylor's Falls,
Minn., and in Wisconsin. He says the
work already performed has had the
effect of lowering the rates of insurance
as well of causing stronger competition.
He says $4,000 can be profitably ex-
pended next year in completing the
work at the Waubeck, RumSey and
Mary Dean banks on the Chippewa
river at Yellow Banks, Wis. He asks
for $4,000 to be expended on the Chip
pewa river. Also, he estimated that
$4,000 can be proftably expended in
the reservoirs at the head waters of the
Mississippi during the next fiscal year.
The total amount required to complete
the work is S1,S74,5S3, and the amount
already expended is s5S3,513.
During the past year the
discharge of water from
the completed reservoirs was cOntinu--
Gus, varying according to the needs of
the river. From June 1 to Oct. 81, 1856,
these reservoirs added from 1000 to 1900
cubic feet of water per second to the
volume of the Mississippi.- The effect
of every 100 cubic feet was equal to in
creaSing the rivers depth 1-10 OF foot.
The operations of the reservoirs are
much impeded by lumbermen, who
build dams on tributaries, restraining
the waters for numbering purposes at
seasons when they are most needed.
Capt. James B. Quinn, United States
engineer, submits the following esti-
mates for the next fiscal year: For the
Improvement at Duluth, Minn., s229,
332; for Superior bay and st. Louis bay,
Wisconsin, S14S,656; for Grand MaraiS
harbor, Minnesota, $780, ,475; for Agate
bay, Minnesota, SIT, 800.

The Chicago Boodlers.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-In the boOdlers'
trial to-day another batch of witnesses
testified that ''0nce upon time" the
defendants bore good characters. The
other evidence was of dull, uninter-
and that speech making is likely to be-
gin tomorrow. The lawyers have de-
cided to have three arguments on each
side, and they promise that the remarks
shall be brief. 1t is hoped to finish the
trial this week.
Warden Frey, the squealing boodler,
who was hustled in a cell in the county
Jail Friday night for breaking numerous
engagements with the states attorney,
was freed to-day, as Mr.. Grinneil re-
Tented sufficiently to consent to the de-
crease of his bail from $4,000 to s, 600.

miles square, and the hot water uarea is
included in space 200 feet long at the
western base of the Hot Springs noun
tain and extends 800 feet up its surface.
He renews the recommendation of last
year that 900 be appropriated for
building reservoirs and pumping ma
chimes to store the water now allowed
to run into the creek. Many more per-
sons have made use of the baths this
year than the year before. and the pros
pect is that the springs will continue to
increase in popularity. He calls atten-
tion to the fact that about 400 persons
the building and pools are now entirely
too small. Gen. Field submits num-
ber of testimonials from people who
have availed themselves of the benefits
of the baths, and have been cured of a
variety of diseases.

IN PARLIAMENT.
Mr.. Dillon Refused Redress for a
Gniau1nnn


LONDON, Aug. 2.-ln the house of
commons tonight Mr.. Dillon COM
planned that certain charges published
against him in a provincial paper had
been instigated by conservative men,
Der, and denounced them as false. -Four
members asserted that the charges were
true, WhereupOn Mr.. Dillon exclaimed:
"They are false and ] say it against four
of YOU" Mr.. Dillon then demanded the
speakers protection and asked that
he compel the withdrawal of the
charges or withdrawal of the
member making it. The speaker de-
clined to interfere, saying that the Incl
dent had ended with Mr.. DillOn'S denial
OF the charges and refusing to notice the
matter further. Mr.. Dillon then said:
Then there are measures of justice for
one set of members and no justice for
another" The GladStonian victory
achieved by the election of Mr.. Trevel-
van at Glasgow to-day is felt in COnSer-
VatiVe circles as the heaviest blow the
UniOniSts have experienced, When the
result of the election became known in
the house of commons the members de-
serted their benches and tlocked into the
lobbjes to discuss the matter and its
bearing on the future. The home rule
members are jubilant.
The house considering the land bill in
committee agreed to eliminate clause
twenty-one, dealing with the remission
of rates, the consideration of which was
postponed on Thursday night, and it
was therefore omitted. The remain
ing original clauses of the bill were dis
posed Of.O Mr.. BalfOur proposed the
first of the government new clauses,
empowering the court to rescind leases
shtained since 1869 by undue influence,
and it was agreed to. Progress was
then reported upon the understanding

WASHINGTON, Aug. "A curious and
interesting relic of Indian barbarism
was received at the war department
few days ago. 1t consisted of a neck
lace of human fingers. Originally there
were eleven fingers strung together
after the manner of necklaces of bears
claws, but three of them had been lost.
The CHASTITY adOrnment was captured in
the attack on the Northern CheyenneS
in 1876, and was the property of the big
medicine man, chief of the tribe, and
each finger represented a life taken by
the owner. The fingers had been pre-
served by opening the skin. removing
the bones, scraping away all the tissues
and fatty substances and subjecting the
skin to some tanning process. The neck
lace was sent to West Point by Capt.
Beurke, who is now engaged in prepar-
ing some historical matter relating to
the indians. 1t was brought from West
Point here Fin order that it might be re-
produced in paper mache at the Smith
sonian institution. The scientists of the
institution are quite enthusiastic over it,
regarding it as precious specimen of
the barbarous habits of the Indians who
are now fast disappearing. The war
department officials, however, looked
upon it with disgust when they could
bring themselves to take peep at it.

The Earthquake.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-Dispatches from
Jacksonville, Centralia, and Jonesboro,
ILL.,, this morning indicate that the
earthquake shocks noted at Nashville,
Tenn, st. Louis and Evansville, were
general throughout Southern and Cen
tral Illinois. At Jacksonville the vibra-
tiOns seemed to be from east to west,
but at JonesbOro from northwest to
south In the latter place rumbling
was heard and the shocks were of suffi-
cient force to cause pictures to fall
from the walls. The time was 1910
a. m.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 2.-Earth-
quake shocks were felt little before l
O'clock this morning throughout Ten
nessee, except in the extreme east and
extreme west portions. There were
several vibrations, two shocks being Sc
we're and one lighter. In many towns
windows ratified and pictures fell from
the walls. Women were badly fright
ened and children awakened. In some
points it was the severest shock ever
felt.
HUNTSVILLE, Ala, Aug. AT 1890
this morning distinct earthquake shock
was felt in this city.

New YORK, Aug. 2.-Poulterer Tams
has run away. That is the news that
shocked Oakdale, Patchogue, Qogue
and Cutchogue, L. l., yesterday and
even sent few far-reaching ripples of
excitement into the not, humid town.
If H. C. Tams had been anybOdy's poul-

might have fed once day for years

tended hens and fed chicks and

est would be created, Mr.. Tams took
care to add to it by Juggling off with him
some 5000 belonging to Mr.. Wander
bilt. This little precautiOn had the eff
feet calculated upon, but has been the
cause of several detectives being put on
his track. AS the soil about Oakdale is
exceedingly sandy Mr.. Tams has little
to fear from them. Furthermore he
ran away about a week ago, thereby
showing his shrewdness in leaving cold,

Murder and Suicide.

HOMER, Mich, Aug. about 8
o'clock this afternoon George Burton,
aged thirty-One, murdered his wife,
wounded his mother-in-law and shot
himself at his home two and One-half
miles south of here. Burton first shot
his wife twice, the first time in front of
the right ear, the second time in the
ear and after she fell he ran behind
Mrs. ID. P. Hatch, his mother-in-law,a and
shot her, the bullet entering back of the
left ear, but not piercing the skull. She
fell, and he, supposing he had killed
her, shot himself, the ball entering on
the right side of the head and passing
entirely through it. Burton and his
wife had parted and she had instituted
proceedings for divorce. She returned
to the house for her clothes and they
quarrelled with the result stated. Bur
ton had been practicing shooting at a
mark all morning.

MORE ABOUT BLAINE.
An Awkward Guest for English
men to Entertain.

New YORK, Aug. "A London cable
says: Underneath the winning, driving
and feting of James G. Blaine, both
in England and Scotland, but particu-
larry in England, there has been a cur
rent of feeling that is difficult to de-
scribe. Mr.. Blaine is everywhere rec
OgniZed as an exceedingly brilliant man
and a desirable guest, but it is not easy
in the minds of some persons to diSaS
SOciate him from the enemies of En-
gland in America who have kept Irish
agitation and Irish aggression alive by
furnishing them with means upon
which to Subsist. During Mr.. Blaine'S
brief stay in London several very prom
inent government officials concerned
themselves TO make his visit a
pleasant one. Their attentions were
warranted by Mr.. Blaine's past career,
and the possibility that he will again be
candidate for the presidency of the
United States, but there is no doubt
that he is looked upon very much
askance. even by those who made him
the object of their courtesy, for
THEY CANNOT FORGET
that several of the extreme Irish-Ameri

him during his campaign in 1884. En-
glishmen, who consider themselves ac-
Quainted with the political situation in
America, are accustomed to mention the
Democratic party as one with which the
EngliSh-hating agitatOrS, in the United
States, are especially connected, and
are not surprised that its leaders should
in measure echo the War-cry OF a con-
siderable portion of the rank and file,
but that Mr.. Blaine should be accept

against the Republican party. In con-
verSation prominent English pOliti-
this subject last evening:
The Americans did not shrink from spend
ing countless millions of dollars and sacri-
fcing hundreds of thousands of lives to pre-
serve their country intact. The Republican
party is credited with numbering among its
adherentS the most determined opponents of
states rights, and, in consistency, ] do not

mains. Because we deny the right of the
Irish to secede, the latter demand, and ap-

That those Americans who belong to the
party which is credited with possessing the
most extreme union sentiments and which IS
continually taunted by its opponents with
perpetuating the memories of the war, as
part of its political capital, should Sympa-
thize with our disunionists, seems to me, to
speak moderately, very inconsistent indeed.

KILLED HIS MOTHER.
The Awful Crime of a Young 3

EATON, O., Aug. 2.-JOhn Beall, thir-
teen years old, who has been in jail six
weeks on charge of killing his mother,
has made confession to the prosecut-
ing attorney, the sheriff and ex-sheriff.
1t was not written down, and the per-
sons are secretive about the details. On
July Ii this boy was at home alone with
his mother at farm house, and bout 4
o'clock alarmed the neighb0rs by saying
three trampS had killed his mother, and
that he was asleep, but awakened in
time to see them leaving with watch
and some money. The watch has since
been found in a vault, where the boy
admits that he threw it. The boy had
shot the mother twice and then nearly
beheaded her with an ak. 1t is sup
posed that he was with the dead body
three hours before giving the alarm. M
motive for his crime can be assigned ex-
cept that he was angry at what seemed
to him to be evidence of favOritism
shown to his sister by his mother. On
the day of the murder he expected to 60
to Eaton with his mother to get new
suit of clothes, but instead his father
took his sister to town and thus he was
left at home with his mother.

THE TOBACCO CORNER.
1t is not Founded on a Solid Basis

and will Collapse.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. - StatiStlclan
Dodge, of the department of agriculture,
is out to-day in card embodying very
plain statement alb out the tobacco crop
of the country. He says: GAS to
the present furry, the tobacco growers
received so small compensation for
their labor last year that they have
greatly curtailed production. Their
product is in the hands of dealers, who
are,now making hay while the sun

they hope to clear out at double rates
their Overburfened warehouses, fill Or
ders for large part of next years con-
sumption, and then scoop in the cured
tobacco of the coming crops next win
ter and spring at much lower rates than
they are hoping to sell their surplus for.
This is the animuS of weed estimates of
next to no tobacco crop in 1887, which
are now in vogue. Before Christmas
tobacco spectators will see new light;
there will be a. larger area than they
thought, and the yield will be beyond
expectation, and the market will be
duh and consumers supplied and the
whole situation changed, SOs that grow
eFS will be offered only a moderate adj
vance on the last years rates.
THE PRESENT BOOM
doesn't interest farmers. 1t is for
trade and it will be six or eight months
before the farmers will market their
new crop. A fact as to stocks: On the
1st of July the average stocks on hand
in all Western markets, for five years,
ioSl-sS5, was about $4,000 hogsheads.
The July average for the last two
years, 1856 and 'S7, was over 72,OO0
hogsheads; fully double. That explains
the necessity of reduced area ON the
part of the farmers and of a desperate
effort to boom prices and get rid of the
surplus on the part of the dealers. The
receipts of the last three years, from
January to July, have averaged $4,000
hogsheads. against 10000 for the four
previous years. Here lies the milk in
the commercial cOcoanut you present
me. AS to our estimates, we made only
a first estimate from incomplete returns.
Our special tobacco inquiry is now out.
and we propose to make the investiga-
ton onthOrough to get the truth
and tell it in ample season, for the in
formation of growers whether specu-
lators shall bear or forbear or other
wise. We have no other interest in the
matter. They have"

arguments by ex-Judge Sidney Smith
on a motion to dissolve the injunction
procured since court vacation was COM
menced by certain alleged bucket shops
against the board of trade, the Western
Union and the Gold and Stock Tele-
graph companies, restraining them from
cutting off the market quotations from
them. Judge Smith repeated what he
said before Judge Horton week ago
about the injustice of permitting amin
junction to be issued, but not allowing
it to be dissolved in vacation, and urged
the necessity of the board of trade hav-
ing its hands full in cooperating with
the state law to abolish bucket shops.

TREASURY TOPICS.
The Cash on Hand---National Bank
Statements.

WASHINGTON, Aug. "A statement
prepared at the treasury department
shows that dnring the month of July
there was decrease of Sc, ,663, 74S in the
cash in the treasury and net increase
of S4,O47, 133 in the circulation. The de-
crease in increese was mainly in gold
certificates. The decrease in the ma
tiOnal bank notes amounted to S3,543,-
O37. The comptroller of the currency
has called on the national banks for
report of their condition at the closing
of business August l. The informa-
ton to be obtained in the report just
called is expected to be particularly
valuable as showing how the banks are
prepared to meet the approaching de-
mands for funds to move the crops.
All banks that failed to send in reports
under the last call within the time spec
fled by law were fined. Even political
pressure was brought to bear in several
cases to obtain remission of the pen
alties, but the comptroller would not
consent to any such arrangement. He
has frequently expressed himself as de-
termined to enforce the statute and has
so informed the banks. The coinage of
the mints during July was 81 1850, 600, of
which $500, ,OOO, 600 was in standard sill
yer dollars. The limited coinage was
due to the fact that the mint at Phila-
tielphia was closed during the month
for repairs. The deficiency in the coin
age of standard dollars will be made
good during the present month.

GROTTKAU IN JAIL.
The Milwaukee Anarchist Again
Behind the Bars.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 2.-Pending an
appeal of his case to the supreme court,
Paul GrOttkau, the anarchist, editor of
the Arbeiter Zeitung, who was con-
victed of melting labor riots here last
year and sentenced to one years impris-
Onment in state prison, was released on
bail. Alarmed by report that he was
about to flee to Canada, his bondSmen
to-day surrendered him to the sheriff.
He was allowed to look for new bonds
men accompanied by deputy, but
failed to find them and was locked up.
The trouble is the result of row in
which the entire socialist section
is concerned, the leaders of which
are having lively rumpus among
themselves. In yesterdays issue of the
Arbeiter Zeitung, Grottkau charges Leo
Waterman, its business manager, with
forgery. The latter at once applied for
warrant for GrOttkau's arrest on
charge of criminal libel, and has had
attachment papers made out claiming
that the concern is heavily indebted to
him. There are about twenty socialists
who are stockholders, and they are also
alarmed, claiming to have unearthed
conspiracy by which GrOttkau and a
dozen Chicago socialists were to secure
complete possession of the paper by
freezing them out. GrOttkau will now
have to remain in jail till the supreme
court arrives ct a decision, which will
be not sooner than November.
